Apologies for the flippancy in the comment. I wasn't questioning the species found or quality of the work, or trying to will something fictional into reality.
After seeing the 'Unleashes Terrifying Discovery' and 'Scientists in Total Shock' I did an internal what if based on some things happening over the last few years, such as the level of consideration given to stopping a hurricane with a nuke without any apparent consideration of fallout and thought, 'yepp. that would fit right in'
The comment could have been seen as something along the lines of a flat earther and is something which on reflection something i shouldn't have added to the c/science community.
This is probably the most thoughtful reply online that I’ve seen in quite a while. I hope my reply didn’t come off as dismissive or condescending. Take care
Nah, It wasn't a problem.
